Preface
This volume analyzes and summarizes recent developments in several key interfacial electrochemical systems in the areas of fuel cell electrocatatalysis electrosynthesis and electrodeposition The six Chapters are written by internationally recognized experts in these areas and address both fundamental and practical aspects of several existing or emerging key electrochemical technologies
The Chapter by R Adzic N Marinkovic and M Vukmirovic provides a lucid and authoritative treatment of the electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of Ruthenium a key element for the develop-ment of efficient electrodes for polymer electrolyte (PEM) fuel cells Starting from fundamental surface science studies and interfacial considerations this up-to-date review by some of the pioneers in this field provides a deep insight in the complex catalytic-electrocatalytic phenomena occurring at the interfaces of PEM fuel cell electrodes and a comprehensive treatment of recent developments in this extremely important field
Several recent breakthroughs in the design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes and cathodes are described in the Chapter of H Uchida and M Watanabe The authors who have pioneered several of these developments provide a lucid presentation des-cribing how careful fundamental investigations of interfacial electrocatalytic anode and cathode phenomena lead to novel electrode compositions and microstructures and to significant practical advances of SOFC anode and cathode stability and enhanced electrocatalysis
The electrocatalysis of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 a reaction of great potential importance for the future is treated in
plethora of experimental investigations of CO2 reduction on different metals and provides deep and useful insight about the fundamental mechanisms leading to dramatically different product selectivity on different metals
v
a leading expert in this area The Chapter reviews critically the an authoritative chapter by Y Hori who for many years has been
renowned experts in this important field provide a deep and concise survey of experimental and theoretical findings and point out several important codeposition phenomena which defy existing theoretical treatments and show the necessity for novel theoretical analyses of the electrode-electrolyte interface accounting for ion rather than electron transfer at the electrochemical interface
The great usefulness of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for a better understanding of catalysis electrocatalysis and electro-deposition at the fundamental level is presented by M Szklarczyk M Strawski and K Bieńkowski in a concise historical review which summarizes key landmarks in this important area and presents some of the almost limitless opportunities for the future
The key role of electrochemistry in several important emerging technologies such as electrodeposition and electroforming at the micro and nano level semiconductor and information storage including magnetic storage devices and modern medicine is described lucidly by M Schlesinger in an authoritative Chapter These new ldquohigh techrdquo electrochemical applications presented by

Preface
This volume analyzes and summarizes recent developments in several key interfacial electrochemical systems in the areas of fuel cell electrocatatalysis electrosynthesis and electrodeposition The six Chapters are written by internationally recognized experts in these areas and address both fundamental and practical aspects of several existing or emerging key electrochemical technologies
The Chapter by R Adzic N Marinkovic and M Vukmirovic provides a lucid and authoritative treatment of the electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of Ruthenium a key element for the develop-ment of efficient electrodes for polymer electrolyte (PEM) fuel cells Starting from fundamental surface science studies and interfacial considerations this up-to-date review by some of the pioneers in this field provides a deep insight in the complex catalytic-electrocatalytic phenomena occurring at the interfaces of PEM fuel cell electrodes and a comprehensive treatment of recent developments in this extremely important field
Several recent breakthroughs in the design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes and cathodes are described in the Chapter of H Uchida and M Watanabe The authors who have pioneered several of these developments provide a lucid presentation des-cribing how careful fundamental investigations of interfacial electrocatalytic anode and cathode phenomena lead to novel electrode compositions and microstructures and to significant practical advances of SOFC anode and cathode stability and enhanced electrocatalysis
The electrocatalysis of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 a reaction of great potential importance for the future is treated in
plethora of experimental investigations of CO2 reduction on different metals and provides deep and useful insight about the fundamental mechanisms leading to dramatically different product selectivity on different metals
v
a leading expert in this area The Chapter reviews critically the an authoritative chapter by Y Hori who for many years has been
renowned experts in this important field provide a deep and concise survey of experimental and theoretical findings and point out several important codeposition phenomena which defy existing theoretical treatments and show the necessity for novel theoretical analyses of the electrode-electrolyte interface accounting for ion rather than electron transfer at the electrochemical interface
The great usefulness of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for a better understanding of catalysis electrocatalysis and electro-deposition at the fundamental level is presented by M Szklarczyk M Strawski and K Bieńkowski in a concise historical review which summarizes key landmarks in this important area and presents some of the almost limitless opportunities for the future
The key role of electrochemistry in several important emerging technologies such as electrodeposition and electroforming at the micro and nano level semiconductor and information storage including magnetic storage devices and modern medicine is described lucidly by M Schlesinger in an authoritative Chapter These new ldquohigh techrdquo electrochemical applications presented by

Preface
This volume analyzes and summarizes recent developments in several key interfacial electrochemical systems in the areas of fuel cell electrocatatalysis electrosynthesis and electrodeposition The six Chapters are written by internationally recognized experts in these areas and address both fundamental and practical aspects of several existing or emerging key electrochemical technologies
The Chapter by R Adzic N Marinkovic and M Vukmirovic provides a lucid and authoritative treatment of the electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of Ruthenium a key element for the develop-ment of efficient electrodes for polymer electrolyte (PEM) fuel cells Starting from fundamental surface science studies and interfacial considerations this up-to-date review by some of the pioneers in this field provides a deep insight in the complex catalytic-electrocatalytic phenomena occurring at the interfaces of PEM fuel cell electrodes and a comprehensive treatment of recent developments in this extremely important field
Several recent breakthroughs in the design of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes and cathodes are described in the Chapter of H Uchida and M Watanabe The authors who have pioneered several of these developments provide a lucid presentation des-cribing how careful fundamental investigations of interfacial electrocatalytic anode and cathode phenomena lead to novel electrode compositions and microstructures and to significant practical advances of SOFC anode and cathode stability and enhanced electrocatalysis
The electrocatalysis of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 a reaction of great potential importance for the future is treated in
plethora of experimental investigations of CO2 reduction on different metals and provides deep and useful insight about the fundamental mechanisms leading to dramatically different product selectivity on different metals
v
a leading expert in this area The Chapter reviews critically the an authoritative chapter by Y Hori who for many years has been
renowned experts in this important field provide a deep and concise survey of experimental and theoretical findings and point out several important codeposition phenomena which defy existing theoretical treatments and show the necessity for novel theoretical analyses of the electrode-electrolyte interface accounting for ion rather than electron transfer at the electrochemical interface
The great usefulness of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for a better understanding of catalysis electrocatalysis and electro-deposition at the fundamental level is presented by M Szklarczyk M Strawski and K Bieńkowski in a concise historical review which summarizes key landmarks in this important area and presents some of the almost limitless opportunities for the future
The key role of electrochemistry in several important emerging technologies such as electrodeposition and electroforming at the micro and nano level semiconductor and information storage including magnetic storage devices and modern medicine is described lucidly by M Schlesinger in an authoritative Chapter These new ldquohigh techrdquo electrochemical applications presented by
